Ashton Turner

Primarily a right-arm off spinner, Turner went to India with Australia's under-19 squad in September and October 2011 for a four-team event that also featured the Indian, Sri Lankan and West Indian under-19 sides, and he claimed eight wickets across six matches. At the 2012 Under-19 World Cup he was Australia's preferred spinner over Victoria's Ashton Agar, who missed the tournament through injury. Turner collected eleven wickets in six games there, with a best return of 4/28 against Nepal.

His first-class debut came in England in July 2013, when he turned out for the Australians in a tour fixture against Sussex and bowled four overs without taking a wicket. In the 2014 winter series with the National Performance Squad he was among the stronger performers, making 73, 59 and 41. Over time he settled into the role of a dependable batting all-rounder for Western Australia, and he has been a key member of the Scorchers since 2013/14, building a reputation as a clinical finisher in the Big Bash League.

Turner earned a T20I call-up for the home series against Sri Lanka in early 2017, when several senior players were rested because of the tour of India. He played all three matches, struggling with the bat but helping to restrict the run rate with the ball. Strong domestic and Big Bash form then won him a place in the ODI squad in 2018-19, and he debuted during the series in India. In only his second match, in March 2019, his finishing innings helped Australia overhaul a target of 359. He still missed out on the World Cup squad, with David Warner and Steve Smith returning from their bans and the selectors opting for Shaun Marsh and Marcus Stoinis in the middle order.

The Rajasthan Royals bought Turner at the 2019 IPL auction, but his stint was disappointing, featuring three ducks in a row. The franchise released him in 2020, and he has not secured another IPL contract since.
